Evil Darling

Intro Well in this town that's the way-ay-ay-aaaaay it goes verse 1 Say seven words for the sailors over out on the sea But there ain't no saint just for killers No mama's going to pray for me Well I was blown here by the wind To a rusty city left unnamed The dusty singing cowboy died here He's still doing tombstone things And he knew how hard it was to cry This evil darling, this deep blue sky To be the rain in a dying man's eye Cry for water and you get no reply Beg for mercy and laughter fills the sky Dog Town morning she cries Barrels' views up are right on in your eye Dog Town There's no fruit from acid rain Go see if the coffin kid has a lid that bears your name In this town, that's the way-ay-ay-aaaaay it goes verse 2 You've heard of lamp-lit haciendas With wide-eyed girls who haunt the night But the senoritas you've befriended Cut the stars all out of the mirrors of their eyes She sent seven shotgun shells Into the netherworld of Hell She slaughtered nine five white chickens So you can never break her spell Follow her down boy and you're bound to die Down in canyons Beyond the blind people's eye She'll leave your bones Down in the haunted ground The hutchie wooden guarding your soul Dead like a rock nevermore to roam Dog Town morning, she cries Barrels from the shotgun blaze right between your eyes Dog Town there's no fruit from acid rain Go see if the coffin kid has a lid that bears your name Dog Town morning she cries Barrels from the shotgun blaze right between your eyes Bad dreams boys of my last night's Dog Town fight Go see if the coffin kid has a box to fit your size In this town, that's the way-ay-ay-aaaaay it goes Outro
